Do you want to organise something in Maastricht? Let us know by submitting your ideas. It doesn’t matter if it is just a rough sketch or a detailed plan; anything goes. By sending it our way we can see if and how we can help you in your endeavour.
Hint-Hint! Read this page carefully before you start drafting your plans. Everything you need to know can be found at the CHECKLIST, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS and DOWNLOADS sections.
Anyone between the age of 12 and 25 can submit his or her ideas.
You live, work, or are a student in Maastricht.
Your idea has to add something to the city. Your project or activity is in essence an enrichment for the city and other youth living, working or studying in Maastricht. This way we work together to create a city with something to offer for everyone.
Kudos to you if your plan improves the world we live in. Luckily, most great plans and ideas do! However, CODE043 is not allowed to help realise projects of which any potential profit will go to a charity organisation. Additionally, politically motivated ideas or ideas with any religious origin are off the table as well.
You are motivated to create something you can be proud of. Congratulations, you found the perfect place to start! We want you to create something solid, and love helping you in doing so. But keep in mind that, as the non-profit organisation we are, it is prohibited to take into account any personal profits. However, in the case that you do make a profit, and in doing so did not need any financial backing by us, it is yours and to do with however you see fit.
Schools and universities are known to stimulate their students to come up with- and organise projects. Isn’t it great? This way the students are taught to create and realise their very own awesome projects. You don’t need our help for that, and frankly that is not what we as an organisation are for. We only focus on the projects that you, as a person, would like to do in your own spare time.
OR TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BELOW
Are you on the verge of submitting your plans, but still have some questions? Don’t worry! Take a look at the frequently asked questions and let them be answered.
Take a closer look at the terms and conditions we emailed you after your plan got approved. If you lost them, just scroll down to the DOWNLOADS section and get them there. Please read them thoroughly!
CODE043 does not hand out subsidies, but we act as a guarantor. If your project plan is approved this means we will give you a certain sum of money for you to realise your project without taking a huge financial risk. This does imply that in the case the project is very profitable, we are not obliged to give you the entire guarantee.
Everything has to be submitted to us via our website. The deadline is set 6 weeks after the completion of your project.
No later than 8 weeks prior to the actual event. This deadline gives you time to plan everything in an organised fashion, and gives us time to take a close look at your plans. This ensures that we are able to give you feedback and time for you to use and incorporate that feedback.
The banner can be collected at our office during visiting hours. Always email or call us when you want to pick up the banners, and we will make sure there will be one waiting for you. Keep in mind that one of the conditions includes that you place the banner in such a way that it is clearly visible.
You definitely can! This enables you to start investing in your project straight away, for instance buying the necessary food and drinks or booking an artist. To apply for an advance, log in to the website and go to the STATUS tab and just fill out the form.
Did you submit a project plan and you need our logo? Go to DOWNLOADS at the bottom of this page. Are you a member of the press or a business relation? In that case you need a different logo. In that case Marie-Claire will help you, and you can contact her at mc@code043.nl.
To submit your plan you can visit the homepage projecten.code043.nl. If you log in you’ll notice that all the text, questions and information is in Dutch. There is, however, no need to panic! We’ve made a translation for you. Click on the following link and you’ll find a wordfile. It is quite a handy document because not only do you get to view which information we need from you before submitting a plan, but you can also work in the document and simply copy and paste what you’ve written in your projectplan.
You as a project manager want to use the CODE043 logo for posters or other visuals. If this is the case, use the white logo if you have a colourful background, or the original logo if the background is white. If you would like a bigger sized logo, we can also supply you with that. For this and other questions, please contact Marie-Claire directly at mc@code043.nl.
